Deep Learning Pipelines provides high-level APIs for scalable deep learning in Python. The library comes from Databricks and leverages Spark for its two strongest facets: In the spirit of Spark and Spark MLlib, it provides easy-to-use APIs that enable deep learning in very few lines of code. It uses Spark's powerful distributed engine to scale out deep learning on massive datasets.
